"Since he returned from suspension and is fully fit, there has been an extra calm about the Liverpool defense. The Dutch international has picked up where he was last season as one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe. His elegant style, both on the ball and when cutting out passes or blocking shots, is perfect for the European game."
"The £100m German attacking superstar was seen as a statement signing by Liverpool as they beat Bayern Munich to his signature. While he has not erupted onto the scene in England with goals and assists, he has been steadily becoming more influential on the pitch for Slot. He arguably could have a few assists already had his teammates finished some of the chances he has created for them."
Liverpool begin their 2025/26 Champions League campaign at Anfield against Atlético Madrid. Arne Slot has delivered four straight Premier League wins, each secured by late goals, while managing new signings and injuries. The transition to continental competition requires continued tactical adjustments to the squad. Ryan Gravenberch’s return from suspension has added composure and defensive solidity, with close control and ball progression suited to European matches. Florian Wirtz arrived as a £100m statement signing, has yet to flood the scoresheet but is growing into an influential creative role and has crafted several chances.
